These birds are very cute, glad you didn´t have to chase it around cause it would have probably been difficult. Do you get to see them running freeily too?

You should have a pretty good shot at seeing a wild one out and about in Austin

First time I ever saw one of these was in Jan. 2011 at Atascosa WR, Texas. Had the thrill of actually seeing two together. Thanks for this photo.
